Awesome pics. Well done!

Why didn't you like the Nikon?

Too many buttons and switches that are not intuitive to use.

Simply beautiful, make the hairs on your neck stand up.

I agree. Looks like the engines are trying to draw the Rolls Royce Olympus love heart.

My friend is making a Vulcan Xh558 airfix model. :-)

I'm going to make a donation this week... It would be such a shame if it were to grounded.

Found this.  

And the landing.

[rich83]

Thanks again for those Hedge.

I love the way that it takes an eternity for the nose to drop on landing, I suppose its due to such a huge surface area and pressure under the wing.

[B3n]

I believe they keep the nose up on landing so they are able to use that big wing as a kind of airbrake to help slow her down

Nicely said Ben. 

They have the option of a chute for very short landings but it costs a fortune to repack each time.
